Remember 35 years ago, when the big fear was the coming Ice age? I also find it funny that a few years ago, a group set out from Norway hoping to retrace Eric the Red's voyage to Newfoundland, using period technology for navigation. They encountered ice fields which blocked the route.

Global warming?? Brrrr, not here, that's for sure. I just came back from a dog walk, wearing several layers, including snowpants, and a neck/face warmer, and I now have to defrost before I head out again for the train to work!!

The way this winter has been acting up north, maybe the scientists & pundits should start worrying about "global freezing"! And as for the beer, just imagine having that full case you left out in the garage freezing up on you and exploding. Now that would be worse than anything I could think of!

It hasn't got into the double digits since last week here in northern Wisconsin. Too cold. My DH treasures his beer so he wouldn't leave it in the garage because it would freeze and break here to which would be a big mess with glass bottles.
Another non believer.

Mark & I were just talking about how much colder it used to be in Iowa. That we used to have much more snow & more frequent below zero temps. But we decided that after we saw on the weather channel last week that it was minus 47 in Mt.Washington, NH & the wind chill was MINUS 100!!! That we would just shut up when it comes to cold temps - it could be much worse. (but we sure love our electric blankie!!!) and WE MISS ST.THOMAS & ST.MAARTIN!!!!!!
